- 6.48 m grading 10.85 g/t gold from the Sperrin(i) vein in hole 15-CT-254;
- 0.31 m grading 475.00 g/t gold from the Causeway West(i) vein in hole
15-CT-223;
- 2.53 m grading 19.60 g/t gold from the No. 1 vein in hole 15-CT-220;
- 0.54 m grading 123.59 g/t gold from the V75 vein in hole 15-CT-224;
- 1.98 m grading 34.57 g/t gold from the T17 vein in hole 15-CT-238;
- 3.26 m grading 22.68 g/t gold from the Causeway(i) vein in hole 15-CT-239;
- 1.40 m grading 70.24 g/t gold from the Mullan vein in hole 15-CT-240;
- 1.69 m grading 43.49 g/t gold from the Mullan vein in hole 15-CT-241.

Details of drilling at Curraghinalt
Final results are being reported for 25 drill holes located in the central part of the Curraghinalt deposit (see plan map and three cross-sections at the company's website). These holes were drilled at varying intervals toward the south, targeting most of the veins included in the last mineral resource estimate. In addition, three new veins were interpreted as a result of the infill drill program results to date: the Slap Shot, Sperrin and Causeway veins. Holes 15-CT-220 through 15-CT-233, 15-CT-242 and 15-CT-243 were drilled from underground, while 15-CT-215, 15-CT-217, 15-CT-234 through 15-CT-241 and 15-CT-252 through 15-CT-255 were drilled from surface.
These 25 drill holes represent 8,438.5 metres of the 30,000-metre infill drilling program. To date, including the press release on July 15, 2015, 50 holes for 14,204.5 metres in total have been released, with results for the remaining drill holes to be released as they are received, compiled and interpreted. The purpose of the infill program is to convert resource ounces from the inferred to the indicated category, in support of a feasibility study currently under way. The drill program covers only 45 per cent of the 1.7-kilometre strike length of the current Curraghinalt resource and to a depth of approximately 450 metres from surface.
The mineralized veins and zones intercepted by these drill holes correlate with the current vein wireframes and confirm their high-grade nature. The increased drill hole density has also facilitated the interpretation of three additional veins: Slap Shot, Sperrin and Causeway.

True widths vary depending on the vein zone intersected
but are generally not less than 90 per cent of the
downhole interval.
Intercepts are calculated using samples greater than or
equal to one gram g/t Au and contain no more than two m
of internal dilution.
15-CT-233, 15-CT-234 and 15-CT-237 intercepted the
projected veins, but no significant mineralization was
encountered.
Partial results still pending for 15-CT-215, 15-CT-224,
15-CT-231, 15-CT-243 and 15-CT-255.
Results are still pending for 15-CT-225, 15-CT-226,
15-CT-227, 15-CT-242, 15-CT-244 through 15-CT-251 and
15-CT-253.

Qualified person
Greg Hope, AusIMM, consulting chief geologist, Dalradian Resources, is the qualified person who supervised the preparation of the technical data in this news release.
Drill core was halved with samples (averaging between 0.25 m and 0.50 m in mineralized material and up to one m in wall rock) submitted to ALS Laboratories in the Republic of Ireland. Quality assurance and quality control procedures are continuing. Core samples were analyzed by a 50-gram gold fire assay with an atomic absorption finish.
ALS Laboratories is accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board (INAB) to undertake testing, including for ores and minerals (INAB P9 703), as detailed in the schedule bearing the registration No. 173T, in compliance with International Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005.
